Judika IllesEncyclopedia of Mystics, Saints & Sages: A Guide to Asking for Protection, Wealth, Happiness, and Everything Else! (Witchcraft & Spells)

Book was in excellent condition!

This is well worth the price. The content is immense. You could say all this information is readily online, why purchase a reference book?Information on the saints and mystics online is scattered and information is often hearsay. This is much more of a non biased source. It also connects the saints with other religions, rites, astronomical events and other saints . I found it very helpful in my search to understand my Roman Catholic background. This isn’t biased in that it talks about catholic saints practicing magic and other Things that Catholics would normally not want to be connected to. I personally found it refreshing because I don’t feel a connection to the modern day church.I though the book boards were a bit flimsy though and I would have paid extra to have this book bound a bit better. I’m afraid the binding isn’t strong enough for the amount of pages in the book.

Some pages were poorly printed onto the book

I enjoyed this book. The other covers a lot of material and offer some valuable and helpful tips about doing various types of works with the different Saints and spirits. Very well done.

Everything you could want to know about asking saints for assistance, including what to offer, symbolism associated with each and days that are important. Only thing I would have asked for was "more," [i.e., more saints]. But the author got most of the main ones, a few of the rare ones. Possibly could have added more archangels (or maybe will come out with a book just about them/angels in general?) But all in all excellent. There aren't enough books that mesh magick with Christianity, which I think is becoming more popular and definitely a niche that needs attention. This book is a good one for that. But this book could probably be used by traditional Catholics as well, looking for information on saints and their associated history and symbolism, if they aren't too uptight about comparative religious ideas, which are mentioned within many of the entries. A good reference I now use frequently.

Ok. I've had a chance to read this book and I find it to be very informative in the area of saints. This book would be great coupled with the religion Santeria, it's where the Afro-Cuban community got together and they prayed to saints, much like voodoo. I ordered this book as an addition to the authors collection, however, I did not see the word "Sage" used in a topic of discussion. By the title it's misleading, but the information on Saints is well put together and very useful when dealing with other practices.

I LOVE all of Judikas books. She is my favorite author on all things witchcraft hands down (and I’ve read a lot of authors) you can tell she is very knowledgeable and really puts a lot of resources and information in each of her books. I like this book in particular because it’s not just “catholic” saints but saints and holy individuals from all kind of religions and walks of life! Particularly useful if you practice hoodoo or spirit work.

This book is phenomenal. Obviously, Judika illes put her heat, soul, blood and tears into researching these entities. So very impressive and each Mystic, Saint, and Sage is covered extensively along with how to pray to them. She insures that us readers have an intimate relationship with whomever we chose to approach. LOVE it !!!!

I love Judoka Illes books and this one certainly didn't disappoint. Full of great information and very interesting

Love this book. Very insightful.

I haven't read it yet as it's my Christmas present off my family but I have her other books and they are fantastic so I'm sure this will be too.

very complete...Judika Illes as always is the best

Dies ist nicht mein erstes Buch von Judika Illes. Sehr nützlich und informativ,wenn man eine Verbindung zu Heiligen aufbauen möchte. Den Punkt Abzug gibt es, weil das Buch nicht,wie bestellt, neu sein kann…keine Schutzhülle,Klebstoffspuren sowie wackeliger Buchrücken. Dafür den Neupreis zu verlangen finde ich nicht in Ordnung ☹️
